Time to Purchase a DVD-R?

Evanrude asks: "With DVD writers having significantly come down in price over the past year more companies are coming out with their version of the DVD-R. My company has a large file archive of documents and data that don't necessarily need to be stored on read/write media, but need to be kept online. I want to accomplish this with online DVD storage but is this the right way to go? Who has the best value with the most features of all the DVD-R's on the market? What are some things to look for and things to avoid when purchasing a DVD-R? Is it even time to purchase one, or should I wait another six months?"

      Let's say I have a popular program I release on CD (pressed, not burned). If I included code in the program to detect a CD-R drive and, if found, attempt to overwrite the TOC on the CD, could this actually work as a "copy protection" technique?

      Aside from the questionable legality, it seems to me that, if the drive contained a CD-R disk, it would destroy it, whereas it would not affect a "normal" CD.

      Anyone have any insight on this? Would it depend entirely on the drive's firmware? Can a program more easily detect a CD-R than by trying to destroy it and see if it works?

      That's a valid point. As long as you leave the harddrive in place, that's true. But if you have it in a swap mount, things look different. The point is, a DVD is a plastic disc. A harddrive contains a lot of moving parts and sensitive electronics. The data on a DVD is burnt into a layer of dye. On a harddrive, the information is encoded as tiny magnetic fields, which decay over time.

      [DVDs] Are also proprietary. Are you sure your DVD-R can read the DVD you burned on another company's DVD-R?

      Almost every DVD drive or player you can buy right now can at least read DVD-Rs. Older ones probably too. I don't know about the other standards, but DVD-R seems to be the most agreed upon.

      There's very good reason to assume that. The DVD is not only a standard for computers, but also for consumer appliances, i.e. DVD players. As long as there are going to be DVD movies, there will be DVD-ROM drives. And probably even after that. Ever wondered why a DVD is the size of a CD? Because it allows the DVD drive to read CD-ROMs. I'd bet that 10 years from now you can still buy a drive that reads CD-ROMs. The same will be true for DVDs: drives will be backward compatible.

      I purchased an HP DVD+RW about 6 months ago and I no longer use it. A couple of reasons:

      1. I've already lost three disks full of information because HP's software cannot seem to handle system crashes. Windows crash = Lose all of your data. (remember I'm using DVD+RW).

      2. A big hard disk with a firewire or USB2.0 enclosure is cheaper, faster, and more portable.

      3. The lack of a standard has resulted in sketchy compatibility with home DVD players so burning video is a real problem.

      4. The lack of a standard also affects PC DVD drives. Sometimes disks work and sometimes they don't. I have experienced complete BSOD's on Win2K when putting a DVD+RW in a friend's player (never seen one before).

      If you are still set on buying a DVD writer, then I suggest the following:

      1. If you want to burn video, look at your existing DVD player (and those of anyone you want to share with) and check this chart to see which style of drive to get (DVD-R or DVD+RW) http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayers.php

      2. If you want to do data backups, remember this when using DVD+RW:
      Only backup or restore data after a cold boot. Even then you may lose everything if something untoward happens during the process.

      3. Really think hard about the external hard disk.
      $130 120 gig hard drive
      $ 60 Firewire external enclosure
      or
      $350 DVD Writer
      $216 24 DVD-R disks (@ 120 gig)

      You can always buy the DVD Writer next year with the $350 you saved getting the hard disk and probably end up with better technology, faster write times, a better shot at compatibility, and a cool 120 gig hard drive with external firewire enclosure. :-)

    My wife and I have been together for nearly ten years. About five
    months ago, as Kathleen was approaching her 42nd birthday, we decided
    that we had better have the child we would eventually want before it
    was too late. Unfortunately, due to a tropical fever that I caught
    three years ago, my sperm count was reduced to near impotent levels.
    While they will eventually increase back to normal, it will be at
    least three years before I could expect to get Kathleen pregnant
    with my own seed. By that time it would be too late.

    Kathleen is 5'8" 155 lbs. Her hair is dark brown with grey streaks
    through it and it's cut close to her head in something approaching a
    bob. To be honest, she's fairly evenly proportioned but her ass is
    getting a little broad. Still, it looks very inviting in a skirt.
    She's very near sighted and requires a fairly strong prescription for
    her glasses. She's cute in a librarian sort of way. Besides, I love
    her.

    We needed a plan that would enable us to have children while still
    connecting the child to a sexual contact between us. Sperm banks were
    out. So was adoption. After much soul searching we decided on the
    following solution. After exhaustive research into family and medical
    histories etc. and an extensive interviewing procedure, we would
    settle on four different men who would be paid $500.00 a pop for
    coming to our house on a regular and rotating schedule based on the
    results of our home ovulation test results to copulate with my wife
    until she was impregnated.

    After each session, I would make love to her so that it may have been
    possible that it was my seed that did it. We would not endeavor to
    track down the real father. We were prepared to lose $25,000 of our
    savings to accomplish this feat. If she didn't get pregnant after
    being fucked 50 times, then it would never happen.

    Kath was extremely hesitant at first, but as the baby clock began
    ticking louder and louder, she agreed to go through with it. We also
    needed a way to keep the technical infidelity out of the marriage bed
    so we decided to use a guest room downstairs for her reception of the
    men's stud services. It would be done in a very formal and business
    like manner with positions prescribed for maximum penetration. Each
    man would ask Kathleen to wear certain things that would provide them
    with a visual turn on. In turn, Kath was allowed to ask that the men
    wear certain things as well.

    We decided that the act itself should be performed over an upholstered
    chair, one that she could bend over easily. It would be easier for
    her, she said, if she was not face to face with them. There was also a
    desk in the corner, a straight back chair, some baby oil and some
    towels and clothes to clean up with.

    After each session, I was to take her to our bed and make love to her
    in our usual fashion. After about two months of interviews and
    personal research, we settled on four men that Kath and I
    found attractive enough and similar enough to me in features to be
    worthy of the task at hand. We worked out a schedule based on
    Kathleen's ovulation cycle and set the date for the first attempt.

    A week before David arrived for our Saturday afternoon session,
    Kathleen began getting nervous and nearly backed out. We talked about
    all of the diffeent fallout scenarios and she finally
    decided that having a baby was worth the risk. In order to try and
    deal with it, I suggested that we both try and make it a turn on for
    us. I suggested that she may want to look at it as a last
    chance to do what she wanted with other men and just be happy to get
    serviced like few other women ever would.

    On Saturday morning David phoned to ask Kathy to just wear a pair of
    jeans and a sweatshirt. Kathy, knowing David was an avid cyclist,
    asked him to wear a pair of lycra cycling shorts and
    tight t-shirt. At four, David arrived, wearing the requested gear. As
    I led him into the living room my heart began racing. Kathy was
    waiting in the guest room. She was shaking when I closed the door and
    went to greet David. The two of us sat down and I had David sign the
    contract we had worked out and discuss the finer points of what was
    expected.

    David was shaking a little too. But I stole a few glances between his
    legs as he was reading the contract. The bulges were pretty impressive
    and he was semi-hard already. I could see the outline of his cock, the
    ridges of his head and his balls were tightly coated in the shiny
    black lycra. Kathy always liked this kind of sight. We stood up, shook
    hands and I told him, with a quiver in my voice "She's all yours for
    as long as it takes. I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

    "Um, thanks. Where will you be?" "I'll wait out here until you're
    done. And just so you know, the sounds the two of you make will
    probably excite me so I'll be pretty hot for her ass when
    you come out. Go to it!"

    David walked to the guest room door, entered and closed the door
    behind him. I savoured the sight of his tight, muscular ass wrapped in
    the shiny, tight black cycling tights knowing they'd be thrusting into
    Kathleen very soon..

    All I could do was wait. After about five minutes, I heard the sound
    of Kathy's belt buckle and jeans hit the floor. Then I heard the chair
    being moved. In about five more minutes I heard David's
    breathing. "Oohhhhhh!" he let out. Then the chair began a gentle
    rocking sound. Jenn was dead quiet.

    I was getting very hard just listenening to the creaking sounds of the
    chair. Back and forth, back and forth. I was too nervous to masturbate
    but the knowledge that my wife was behind that door, bent over a chair
    with another man's penis inside her was very exciting. It was even
    more exciting thinking of their wet, interlocked sex organs and the
    fact that we were actually hoping for his seed to become life with her
    egg.

    Soon enough the rocking sound got very frantic and after about a
    minute of the building sound of flesh hitting flesh, David let fly
    with a shout "OH GOD YEAH! Ahhhhhhh. Ahhhhh. Ahhh" as his sex organs
    were triggered by the friction of rubbing against my wifes inner walls
    to ejaculate.

    After a minute, the door opened and David, red faced and breathing
    heavily with a glow of sweat emerged. He'd just put on his tights. He
    had his t-shirt in his hand. He thanked me and I handed him the cheque
    and I went to see my wife and finish the job.

    When I quietly crept in, Kathy was sitting in the chair. Her jeans
    were off but she'd left her sweater on. She was crying, then bawling.
    I tried comforting her and saying it was alright but
    she just kept quietly sobbing. After holding her awhile, I began to
    get hard just thinking about what had taken place here shortly before.
    My mouth moved to hers and we began kissing, her
    tears streaking her face. Before I knew it she reached for my cock and
    began jacking me off. I was so close to shooting I told her to take
    her sweat shirt off and straddle the chair. She did
    as I asked, her large pendulous breasts hanging down and swaying as
    the cotton pulled away, freeing them. She stood, her eyes still wet,
    the crying over. She turned, bent over the chair, grasped the arms of
    the chair and uttered her first words of the afternoon. "Your turn."

    With that I placed my cock head to her opening and pushed it in. I was
    up to the limit in one stroke. She was flooded with David's semen. It
    felt like slipping my cock into a tight, well worn, kid leather glove
    filled with warm, melted butter. After about ten strokes I came into
    her. I knew, though, that the experience was really traumatic for her.

    Kathy confessed that the act had felt like a dirty affair, that it
    upset her for that reason. I suggested that, seeing as stud #2 was due
    in a few days she should try and view it another way;
    that she was a goddess commanding ritual stud services. She said she'd
    try. She did want a baby, and the ritual sex did excite her in theory.

    On the appointed day, Kathy was called in to work. We couldn't contact
    the next man in line, Steven, in time to cancel. Kathy would only get
    back five minutes before she was due for her "injection", no time to
    shower or mentally prepare herself. Also, neither would have time to
    discuss what to wear or do to prep her for penetration. Steven would
    just have to take her in her work clothes after a day at work. But we
    did manage to devise a new strategy to ensure that the
    maximum amount and force of ejaculation was reached. Kath would tie up
    each man's nuts like they do with breeding bulls and place a steel
    cock ring at the base of each man's penis. The ring we already had but
    Kath had to stop off at a sewing supply store to pick up a piece of
    fine silk cord for stringing up her stud's balls.

    Steven arrived on the following Saturday at 3:50, ten minutes early.
    Kath still wasn't home. We sat down and I had him sign the contract.
    He wore a pair of grey slacks and a white dress shirt. He was very
    well built. Kathy wore a knee length blue skirt with a white slip and
    panties and bra. She had on a navy tunic style blazer and cream
    blouse. She burst through the front door, out of breath, and
    apologising for being held up. She said hello to Steven and went
    straight to the guest room. Steven's eyes followed her ass. It was now
    up to him to get it, get her skirt off and seed her. After a minute,
    Kathy said, from behind the door "I'm ready, Hon, send him in!"

    Steven went in and closed the door. This time, I wanted to see it. I
    quietly went out to the back patio area where there was a sliding
    glass door opening onto the guest room. Because the patio
    was walled, Kathy may not have drawn the curtains. As I turned the
    corner to where I could get a good view, I saw that I was in
    luck...the view was perfect!

    I saw Steven undressing. Kath was leaning, fully dressed against the
    desk. She watched him intensely and her left hand made its way past
    her jacket and into her blouse to fondle her breasts. When Steven got
    down to his jockeys, I realised that Kathleen was in for a real treat.
    He was hung like a horse! Kathleen walked up to him and took it in her
    hands and began stroking it. He was hard in two seconds. She carressed
    his balls and ran her fingers over his muscular ass cheeks.

    Then she dropped to her knees. She gently tied the silk cord around
    the top of his scrotum and put the steel ring on. Hie veins began
    bulging out and his cock was a slight shade of purple. She
    looked up and drew her finger nails accross the underside of his
    tightened shining scrotum. His penis twitched and he began breathing
    deeply. She gently cupped his balls with her right hand
    while her left went down to begin tugging up her skirt. Kath then took
    his foreskin between her thumb and forefinger and pulled it back,
    unsheathing the shiny business end of Steven's cock.
    I could see a clear dewdrop oozing from the slit. Soon that slit would
    be launching volleys of creamy white seed into my wife's loins. Kath
    began smearing the dewdrop over his purple plum-like cock head.

    Then, as though she had just spread the icing on her desert, she
    parted her lips, let her tongue hang out and sucked it in. "Oh Jesus!"
    said Steven as he closed his eyes. Kath went to work on
    him. I just sat and watched the back of Kath's head bobbing up and
    down from the back. I was content to watch Steven's rapturous facial
    contortions as my wife sucked him. His fingers were
    gently resting on her hair, occasionally going down and fingering her
    ears. Her head began going up and down very rapidly and suddenly,
    Steven's knees began to shake and he let out a sharp cry. Kath's head
    was still. I watched as her cheeks gently expanded, then she started
    swallowing the man's fresh, warm ejaculate.

    Soon enough, Kathleen stood up, a string of clear liquid hanging from
    her lips. She wiped her mouth, walked to the desk and grabbed the
    sides. Steven came up behind her with his beautiful glistening rod
    headed for her ass. Kathleen began hiking her skirt up. The first
    thing to show was her slip, then her panties, then the skirt was up
    around her ample waist. Then came the most delicious moment: Kathleen
    tugging her panties down to her knees. This was such a turn
    on because it was the final act of permission, Kath dropping her
    drawers to allow this man to enter her. With her white cotton knickers
    dropping to her ankles, Kathleen was now bound. She
    was presenting her little buttered clam for stud service. Steven
    brought his hand to her slit and put his fingers inside to test the
    waters. Kath was biting her lip and closing her eyes. I could see
    her mouth the words "do it". Steven began vigourously fingering her
    from behind. Kath's face was serene and smiling.

    Steven held onto her waist and began easing his cock into my wife. I
    could see his dangling, tied sac of sperm laden testicles dangling
    between his legs. Kathleen was grimacing and chewing her lip.
    It took about thirty seconds to get all the way into her. Then he
    began delivery, fucking her with a strong, hard rhythm. Kath's mouth
    hung open and her eyes were clamped shut as he began to drive her
    hard. She was clutching the desk and hanging on for dear life as this
    young stud prepared to empty his seed into her ripened womb. Suddendly
    Steven stopped and closed his eyes. His pushing jerked a little
    slowing to a stop with three short jabs as his nuts shook
    back and forth, releasing their load into Kath's vagina.

    I quickly returned to the front room, hard as a rock. It took them a
    little while to get themselves together. Steven opened the door, said
    "I'm really grateful to you for this. That was a pleasure."
    I handed him a cheque and he left, perhaps to be called back if Kath
    was still not pregnant up in a few weeks.

    I walked in on my rumpled looking Kathleen. She remained bent over the
    desk with her skirt and slip up and her panties around her ankles. Her
    blouse hung open and she was glowing with sweat and her heart was
    thumping. "Next!" she shouted with a big smile on her face, looking
    back over her shoulder at me. "Did you hear all of that, sweetie? I
    thought you might like to hear us talking to each other as we did it."
    "Um, yeah, that was great" I said, lying. I didn't want to shock her
    by telling her I watched the whole thing and that I knew she blew him.
    Besides, I wanted in on her wet, freshly humped backside. I came up
    behind her and opened my pants at the front, then let them drop. I
    pushed my straining erection into her only to feel kid leather soaked
    in warm, melted butter!

    I began screwing her and asked her how she liked him. "God, didn't you
    hear me? He was huge and it really hurt. I just held on and gritted my
    teeth. I liked everything that happened up till that
    point." With that, I reached underneath her and stroked and worked her
    slippery little nub while I fucked her. In short order she quietly
    began whimpering and bucking. At least I made her
    come. In no time, I, too, had a piece of my wife's ass.

    After this session, Kath confessed that she had some ideas to make the
    process interesting. She liked David's tight loins and stated that she
    wanted to ride him on a stool, facing him. For the next man, whose
    personality she didn't care for as much as the others, she would be
    blindfolded and lying on her back on the desk, her legs spread, ready
    for a quick sperm donor type of encounter. She would masturbate for
    him until he was aroused and stroking himself, Then, as
    he was about to come, he would drive it into her and shoot. Then I
    would take over and remove the blindfold.

    When he arrived, Kath was in the room masturbating in her panties. He
    went in, and in about five minutes he was mounting Kath and came a
    short time after. A quick in and out. We later called him and told him
    that we would no longer require his services.

    Michael was a lifeguard at the pool. Kathleen instantly decided that
    if she was going to get screwed by a man with a swimmer's build, he
    should be wearing his speedos. She'd always confessed to me that she
    loved the sight of mens crotches at the beach, the ones with their
    family jewels encased in the nylon pouches. Michael had asked that
    Kathleen wear only her panties and bra.

    After the signing of the contract, he stripped down to his swimsuit
    and walked to the door. "Take your time!" I said, hoping to prolong
    Kathleen's pleasure and get another eyefull of her
    in the act. I once again snuck out to the patio. It was a sunny day
    and this time the sliding door was open. In no time at all, Kath was
    down to her panties and bra and on her knees kissing the
    bulge between Michael's legs through the nylon casing. She was
    carressing his ass. His hands were on the top of her head.

    Kath reached into his pouch and brought out a perfectly formed,
    virtually sculpted erection. It was sticking straight up, nearly
    against his stomach. Her tongue came out and licked his balls
    and then all the way up to the tip. Then she brought her mouth open
    down on it and began suckling this statuesqe athlete's penis. After a
    while, she figured his pole was thoroughly prepared with a slick coat
    of her saliva to slip right in. She was probably soaked and ready the
    second her lips touched his pouch. Then she tied up his balls with the
    silk cord and with considerable effort, put the steel ring on him. As
    the ring reached the base, his penis began to expand even more until
    it was pulsing and nealy bursting with veins. A dollop of clear liquid
    oozed from the tip.

    She lay on the carpet on her back and opened her legs. She dipped her
    fingers into her panties and began jacking herself off in front of
    him. With her free hand she slipped her fingers into
    her bra and pinched her nipples. She closed her eyes and masturbated
    for him. After a few minutes she decided the moment was right and
    proceeded to the most exquisite part: the almost ceremonial removal of
    her panties. Kath raised her backside a little and put her thumbs into
    the waistband of her undies. Slowly, she began pulling them off so
    that the crotch panel hung between her legs, the last barrier to go
    before penetration. She flung them off to the side and spread her
    thighs presenting her loins.

    Michael was transfixed as he got his first eyeful of her moist crotch
    which was now his for the taking. He got down on top of her. Kath
    reached between their legs to guide his strung up and
    bursting manhood into her. As he eased it in he let out a long soft
    moan. Then he began. Kath's legs went up and I was looking at the
    bottom of her feet as they hung in the air, moving with Michael's
    first strokes. I could just see his ass bobbing up and down, clenching
    and rotating. His ass and thighs were taught and extremely muscular.
    He was like a athletic fucking machine with the stamina of a
    racehorce. They went at it for about fifteen minutes. Kath seemed to
    be kissing him and truly making love to him. I could rest assured that
    any child that might come from this union would be the product of
    really thorough physical pleasure.

    I decided to go back to the front room and listen. "AHHHH! YES! A
    litlle slower. That's it. Mmmmm" I could her from her mouth. I sat
    listening for another twenty minutes. They were STILL at it! They
    seemed to be trying the chair, the desk, the floor, everything. This
    man had a cock that wouldn't quit and Kath was relishing every second
    of his service. She was going get every last drop out of him. I went
    outside again to see what they were up to.

    They had closed the sliding door and he was doing my wife up against
    the glass in a standing postion with her legs wrapped around his
    waist! I could see Kath's ample rear pressed like a
    ham against the glass, spreading out a bit with each of Michael's
    thrusts. Just below her ass I could see her stud's testicles swaying
    back and forth in their pouch. The sound of the door frame
    about to shatter made him slow down and I guess they slipped a little
    because suddenly, just below Kath's ass were multiple jetting spurts
    of creamy white come splattering on the glass. He must have partially
    slipped out just as he was coming. The glass door was a mess. from the
    crack of Kath's ass down to the floor was a translucent whitish
    streak.

    She quickly got down on all fours and her stud, while his endless
    ejaculation continued, put his still spurting rod back into Kathleen.
    He held still and let it continue to fill her up.

    After the first test since we began our little scheme, we realized
    that she'd need another round. She was still not pregnant.
    Well...onwards. I called David and asked if he'd be willing to have
    another crack at knocking her up. He said sure and asked if the money
    would be the same. I said yes and offered him a 500.00 bonus if Kath
    tested postive for pregnancy around the time of his visits. He agreed
    not to have sex or masturbate for a week to help the build up for a
    massive ejaculation.

    It was Saturday and Kath called to discuss the turn on needs of David
    before he arrived to perform his duties. She apologised to him for
    being such a dull lay the last time and that she wouldn't be such a
    cold fish this time around. She felt bad about just dropping her
    jeans, bending over and remaining stock still while David fucked her,
    as if she were just a breeding cow. She said that she wanted him to
    make her come.

    David asked that she dress up a bit this time. Kathleen was in a
    cheeky mood that afternoon so she decided to throw him for a loop. She
    would wear her wedding dress! After searching through our storage
    area, Kath found her white wedding gown, went to the spare room and
    worked on letting it out a little to fit her somewhat expanded girth.
    In about two hours she emerged dressed head to toe in her white bridal
    gown, veil and all, just like on the day I married her. "This ought to
    get him going!" I told her to wait in the guest room until David
    arrived.

    After repeating the ritual signing of the contract. I sent David in.
    Kath had asked that he be naked upon entry. David was stiff as a rock
    on his way in. I sat and listened. In about ten minutes, I heard the
    first rustlings of the fabric of her dress. He was no doubt pawing her
    and gathering up the material to get access to her private parts. In
    about five minutes I heard the rhythmic rustling of her satin wedding
    gown and Kath's low moaning. I crept up to the door and
    opened it just a crack.

    Kathleen was bent over the chair with the gown dress bunched up around
    her waist. Her bridal veil was still in place being blown away from
    her face in unison with his strokes. David was holding on to her hips
    and he looked like a dog humping a white poodle. I looked at Kath's
    feet. She was lurching forward on her bare toes, just barely hanging
    on. David's ass was clenching and he sounded as if he was going to
    come. He began humming "Here comes the bride" into Kath's ear. Her
    mouth hung open, her eyes were closed. When he said "And is the bride
    going to come?" she smiled, her eyes still closed, and said
    "Uhh...uhh...uh...obviously I've...uh....uh...got the best man inside
    me!" She winced and her orgasm began. David and Jenn were hissing
    through their teeth together and let out a tremendous pair of moans as
    they shared a brilliant climax.

    After the next negative test, we decided to quicken the pace. At the
    peak of her cycle, we decided to have all four men rotate through on
    four consecutive days. Night after night, they would come, fuck Kath
    and leave. Every night I would hear the moans gasps and squeeking
    chairs coming from the room. Gentle rocking sounds loud outursts, and
    one time Kath let out a blood curdling scream as she came. With David,
    she was having the best sex. She even began crying out for God when
    she came. I eventually suggested that she just begin having sex with
    him whenever she liked.

    Kathleen would often come to bed after sex with her studs and tease me
    with tales of their couplings. Her routine with Michael began with
    them going down on each other. Michael would eat her and she would
    take his velvety, plum like cock head into her mouth as he sat in a
    chair. She would tie his nuts up in their sac with a silk cord and put
    the cock ring on him. She'd bring him to the edge of spurting while
    she fingered herself to a near climax. Then, just before he was
    about to ejaculate, she'd get up and straddle him, lowering herself
    onto his jutting spear.

    Michael came to like kneading Kath's ass as she rode him, eventually
    taking to pushing his fingers into her asshole using the juice from
    their mingling sex organs. Kathleen said she really
    enjoyed coming with Michael's fingers in her ass and his teeth
    clenching on her engorged nipples.

    Kathleen confessed that much of her time with David consisted of him
    eating her as she lay on the desk with her knees pulled up to her
    chest. He tongued her all between her legs and
    routinely licked her asshole and pushed his tongue inside. When she
    had come she would sit him down on the chair and fondle him through
    his cycling shorts and kissing his cock through them.
    She loved stroking his bulge through the fabric and getting him so
    hard. After she peeled off his shorts, she would get down on her knees
    and blow him and treat his asshole to her tongue bath.
    When it came time for her to receive his manhood, she would get down
    on all fours and they would do it doggy style. This made sense to me
    because I never heard squeeking chairs or the desk hitting the wall
    when she was doing it with him.

    On one occasion, with Michael, Kathleen tried something different.
    Wearing only her one pair of leather pants, she answered the door and
    lead Michael into the guest room. On the table she had placed a turkey
    baster and a jar of lubricant. She sat down on the chair and told
    Michael to stand in front of her. Her breasts were bared and she
    reached out to his crotch and rubbed it. Then she opened his pants and
    brought out his hardening penis. She gently tied the silk cord
    around the top of his sac causing his nuts to bulge and shine in their
    drawn tight sac. Then she slipped the steel ring over his shaft and
    placed it at the root of his cock causing it to strain and
    stiffen to the point of bursting with veins.

    She said: "Today I want you to think of my tits, how big they are. How
    beautiful they are. How my nipples are like precious fruit. I want you
    to spray your seed all over them and then gather it up, put it into
    the turkey baster, pull my pants off, ram the turkey baster into me
    and inject that seed all the way in."

    She began to jerk him off. He was in heaven as Kath lovingly stroked
    him with a smooth fluid action. He leared at her heaving breasts and
    she just looked into his eyes with a languid, dreamy
    stare that said "I'm in control and I'm going to milk you as I please"
    She pulled him closer so that the tip of his penis was a foot away
    from her breasts. She could feel the heat rising from
    between her legs, cased in the leather pants. She was getting hot at
    the thought of them being yanked off and having the device shoved up
    her cunt and his semen pushed into her. Her legs began to waver back
    and forth, desperately trying not to succumb to the need to
    masturbate.

    Then as Michaels slit began contracting and his cock head began
    expanding, Kath's nipples began to harden, just in time to greet the
    first volley of spurt. Back and forth, back and forth
    went her hand over his excited sex organ. Out it came, over and over,
    creamy and warm. Spurt after spurt! Michael groaned. A volley landed
    right on her right nipple, causing it to crinkle up on contact. Then
    another spurt, and another. Michael was in the midst of an exstatic,
    prolonged orgasm with his seed flowing out in beautiful white, creamy
    arcs. A gob landed on her lower lip, her tongue instinctively lapping
    out to savour it. Soon her breasts were coated in a glistening,
    whitish sea of sperm. Her nipples were fleshy hard outcrops in this
    sea.

    Michael ripped down the zipper of Kath's pants and yanked them off, no
    doubt feelng a rush of heat rising from her crotch. He grabbed the
    turkey baster and held it in his left hand as he began scraping his
    seed off Kath's tits, deliberately brushing over her now slippery
    nips, with each pass. He quickly set the warm spurt into the baster,
    slathered some lard on it, and placed it roughly between Kath's legs.
    With a sharp push, Kath winced at the sudden violation. Michael
    held it inside her and pushed the plunger. Kath gritted her teeth and
    thought of the seed being injected. Her clitoris retracted under its
    hood. She would not come this time.

    After this session Kath came back from the doctor's office with a
    beaming look on her face. She smiled as she announced our success.
    She'd been pregnant for a couple of weeks as best as we could tell. We
    were thrilled! The only problem was that we had a new dimension to our
    sex life that niether of us really wanted to end.

    After informing everyone that, yes, thanks very much, Kath is now
    pregnant, Kath asked if she could continue, on occasion, to see David
    and Michael. I wasn't about to deny her this and both men, though
    without payment, visited us during Kath's pregnancy. Michael dropped
    out after a couple of months but David was having sex with Kath right
    up to the ninth month. I can assure you that there is no stranger and
    exciting feeling than that you get watching a man mount your wife from
    behind while her belly is bulging with child and her breasts are
    swollen and lactating. I wonder where things will go from here...

I read a couple articles about how certain types are better than others and how one was supposed to have support for just read only (currently it's rw), then backed out of that, and so on.

Ignoring the reliability questions regarding recent IBM hard disks, that puts you at about $1100 just for the drives alone, you are looking at another $500 or so for an IDE controller that will handle 8 drives (3ware escalade 7850) plus you then need some sort of case to hold the drives and the computer in one since IDE cables aren't suppossed to get much longer than 18".

      So, at least $1700 for an equivalent disk-based system, without redundancy. The DVD approach will give you a full mirror in offline storage for another $250 but to put redundancy into the hard disk system you are going to need either raid-5 or mirroring - both of which will significantly push up the price because 8 drives is the limit for a 3ware controller so you could go with larger disks (160GB) but they are about 180% the price of the 120GB drives or you could go to two more controllers controller and maybe five 120GB drives per controller which is going to be another $500 for the 2nd controller and another $270 for the extra drives pushing the total up to $2500 or so for the cheapest raid-5 system.

      Sure, online storage of a disk array is going to be a whole lot faster than near-line storage of a DVD jukebox, but the guy who asked the original question only needs near-line speeds and the price with DVDs is a about half that for sizes around 1TB.

Apple's DVD writers are the second kind and probably have the largest installed base. But it looks like the big players are going for the third ("+"). In addition, one of the -RW format's big supporters was Compaq and HP supports +RW. I'm assuming that Compaq will switch camps, leaving Apple more or less isolated. That has me leaning toward +RW.

    One thing to watch out for -- the "first generation" of +RW drives can't handle write-once media. They're RW only, and the disks are more expensive. HP, for one, is releasing a second-generation writer (maybe called the 200i?) this month, that can do the write-once archival thing.

The only real PC companies involved were Dell and if you'd like to consider HP one, HP. however HP has other agenda's like it's DVD+RW video disc recorders and HP Unix. You might also say Sony, but Sony only cares about not paying as much in royalties and they have their whole video/audio sections as well just like Philips.

      While i don't know for sure, i'm guessing Apple just buys their drives from an OEM. since DVD-R/W was available at the time, and apple needed some gimmicks to make people buy their machines. Video Editting was chosen since that's a key use of a mac, and making your own DVD's was chosen as the marketting point. then just continuing with the standard was fine.

They're both equally compatible with DVD Video players & DVD ROM drives, even with each other - they both read each other's discs.

One could say that DVD+R/RW writers are faster & more flexible than even the 2nd gen of DVD-R/RW writers, but then DVD-R/RW writers & media are still a little cheaper, so maybe that's "better" for some. Or maybe just that Apple is backing DVD-R (since it was available first) and not DVD+R, is enough for you.

      The problem is that orphan formats tend to disappear entirely or become very expensive. Manufacturors know that if you're buying an orphan format, it must be because you have to. Their pricing strategy for media changes from "must be competitive" to "just barely less painful than porting to the dominant format". The drives are even worse. There, they can use the strategy of "just barely less painful than losing all of your archived data to date".

    Maybe it could be an option for "posterity" type backup though even that is dubious given that the standards aren't quite there yet. Some recorders will produce disks that are not readable on different readers, etc. If you must get something, go with Pioneer. They seem to be the most "compatible". I use one for my PC along with the DVDR that came in my G4 and they both produce disks that are readable by all DVD readers I have. The media is also a problem. They tend to be rather expensive and convoluted. There are different types of recordable DVD disks. I've been buying the Apple branded disks as they are the cheapest I could find (around $25 for a box of 5, or $5 per disk + tax). Also realize that it takes "for ever" to record these disks.

    If you just want to have this data available on line, I would simply stack up IDE drives as it has been suggested earlier. These drives are getting cheaper by the minute. Find yourself one of those IDE Raid cards. For the price of a DVDR you can get the controller and hook up 4 160G drives giving you 640G of disk storage. To make it secure, make it redundant. It still is cheaper (considering the time saved in recording) than the DVD route.

  36. Just get an external/removable HD... by RyanFenton · · Score: 2


    Really. The cost per gig on an extra hard drive is no longer prohibitive to just use one to back up your data, then store it in a safe location. It's faster in transfer than a CD, and depending on setup, could work very well with a central server in your network used to back up files. There are various caddy's available from various companies, so the process would be to plug in, and synch up with the server.

    Just one example of such a product

    If I needed to set up a comprehensive backup, I'd definetly choose a secure central server for important data with a nice RAID setup, and have a set of external HD's synched up daily and stored offsite.

    The major disadvantages to CDr/DVDr's would be vulnerability to magnetic damage, and lack of a true history due to the write-once nature of CDr/DVDr's. You'd still want a CDr drive also, for things like mailing data to people, and perhaps for special backup situations with limited data. I still see no major role for a DVDr drive though.

  37. DVD still not up to Par by HamNRye · · Score: 5, Informative

    I work for a newspaper where we have just completed a cost comparison for CD based systems to DVD based systems. We have a large Image archive that was outgrowing our second 100 CD jukebox. Our quandry, should the new Jukebox be DVD or CD based.

    4.1GB per disc (with double sided support not looking promising...) at 100 DVDs = 411 GB storage
    100 CDs = 65GB storage. (roughly)

    Our first look was at the costs associated. The Price difference between a DVD Jukebox and a CD jukebox was not insignificant, but was not a breaker. The writers have come down in price, and the Media is expensive, but not prohibitively so. So, from a simple cost perspective, the system was feasable.

    However, when working with provided demo models, we found a 25% CHANCE OF BURNING A COASTER, with the write times being ridiculously slow. We then recalculated for the extra media expense and extended staffing. (The admin would need to keep a longer watch less often, but the CDs could be burned during the BU guys shift, now they will go past.)

    With the addition of two hours employee time and planning for the purchase of 10% more media, the costs of DVD were slightly more. Then the vendor called, the DVD jukebox requires new switching Software that runs some $5,000.00.

    So, we looked for used CD jukeboxes, found one for almost 1/2 the price of the hardware alone, and it still works with our old software.

    Now, we did all of these calculations based on price per MB, and condidering the the DVD system has 7x the storage space, that also means it is 7x the cost. I feel confident that when we revisit this upgrade in 2 years the prices will be dramatically lower and the quality will be better. I still think you can't beat a $50 CDR and 0.20 media costs.

    Unless you work for a company that enjoys having the latest and greatest (OOOH! I can access the SAN from my PocketPC with wireless.) I think you'd be better off sticking with the tried and true methods, wait for the writing SW to get more stable and wait for the standards to crystalize.

      Backup with tape made sense when a tape cartridge was larger than a typical hard drive, and also cheaper than a typical hard drive, not to mention that hard drives used to be extremely expensive as compared to the present day.

      1. I have had a burner for about six months now (Panasonic A03) and have burned approx. 100+ Discs and have yet to make a coaster.

      2. Speed. The DVD burns at 1x or 2x for data (2x = 8x CD burn) which, yes compared to CD takes awhile but you are burning alot more data! And buring above 8X on a CDR may produce unreliable results especially for video.

      You can do a 5+0 RAID (I think, or is it 0+5?), which is a RAID 5, that is mirrored. Pop a set of drives in, mirror the RAID onto them, and pop them out. Move them off-site for storage.

      It's more secure than CDs because the data is interleaved across all of them in such a way that losing any one to three disks won't actually lose any information. In a CD backup you'll actually lose information if a single disk fails, unless you stripe the data and parity info, but few systems support doing that unless you burn all the disks at once (which isn't likely).

      I saw a dedicated raid controller that they used for this. It had eight drive bays, plus another eight. It could run off of either set, and would mirror the RAID 5 across from one set to another as soon as the drives were inserted. Trivial to operate.

    Oliver got the shock of his life when he woke up one morning. He found that his wife had walked out on him. A short note lay on the kitchen table telling him that she would not be coming back. And Oliver had no idea that she had been unhappy with their marriage.

    After he got over the shock he tried to get on with his life. The thing he found hardest was the lack of sex. He had always had a highly charged sex drive and the lack of sex now was driving him to distraction. He wanked off to try relieve the pressure in his huge balls, but it wasn't quite the same.

    And then one day he found a solution. A new colleague at work invited him round to supper. Toby has a handsome man in his late forties, with dark hair and sky blue eyes. His wife Rose was as pretty and dainty as Toby was rugged and handsome. They both made Oliver feel very welcome in their home and sympathised with him over the break up of his marriage.

    The trio enjoyed a good meal with fine red wine. As the evening wore on they all felt relaxed and happy in each other's company. Toby suggested they take another bottle of red wine into the living room. As it was Saturday the next day Oliver was more than happy to agree. Rose told them to go on ahead as she had a few chores to take care of.

    Oliver and Toby went in to the living room where Toby showed his guest his vintage model car collection. Oliver imagined that Toby was brushing up against him, but he couldn't be sure. If he was, perhaps it was just the drink talking. Trouble was, Oliver was so horny that any contact felt good. He had never been with another man, hadn't even considered it until now. He wondered what it would be like. All his buddies joked about it, making out like it was so disgusting, but was it really, he wondered.

    And then Toby just came out and said it. He told Oliver he wanted to suck his cock. Oliver blushed a deep red and didn't know what to say. He stammered and flustered and didn't actually say anything. Suddenly the door opened and Rose walked in wearing a sexy see through nightie. Oliver's eyes were out on stalks. His cock, already a little hard at what Toby had said to him, now tented his chinos.

    'I'll trade you.' said Toby. 'A piece of your cock for a piece of that ass.'

    'It's a deal.' replied Oliver. He was so horned up he could hardly talk properly.

    Toby wrapped his arms around Oliver in a bear hug and Rose came to join them. She pressed herself against Oliver's back and he could feel her pert tits pushing into him. This forced his hard cock to mash into Toby's firm flesh. Oliver's face and neck were still flushed; his senses were spinning, and he knew he was about to lose control. For a few short second he debated getting back in control but then decided to abandon himself to this sexy couple.

    Oliver closed his eyes and felt Toby kissing his eyelids, his eyebrows, licking across his forehead and down his cheeks. It felt so incredibly good; he wondered why he had never asked his wife to try this. And then Toby's tongue entered his mouth. For the briefest moment Oliver resisted, reminding himself that Toby was another man, but then he abandoned himself to the urgency of that kiss. Never in his whole life had Oliver felt as wanted and desired as he did then. And after the low of being dumped it was what he needed.

    Rose brought her fingers round Oliver's chest and started toying with his nipples through the fabric of his shirt. Her long nails soon teased them into erection. Oliver reached back and slipped his hand into Rose's panties. Her pubic hairs were damp and he soon found her love slot; it too was wet with desire. He slid a finger into her and groaned out loud. It was his first contact with pussy in ages and he had missed it sorely.

    Toby now moved to undoing Oliver's shirt. He ran his hands across Oliver's smooth chest and belly before getting down on his knees and undoing his belt. Oliver looked down to see his chinos dropping to the floor. Toby pulled down his underpants and Oliver's beautiful cock and heavy balls swung free. Oliver was glad that Rose was standing behind him because he just about passed out at the first contact of cock and mouth. He had no idea that a blowjob could be so good. As his slender cut cock head slipped into that warm, experienced mouth he understood that he had been missing something all his life. Toby's used both hands to play with Oliver's large, smooth sperms sacks.

    Rose ran her hands down Oliver's sides and he shivered with pleasure. It was as if every single inch of his skin was discovering sex anew. Each and every nerve tingled and was alive to possibility and pleasure. She played with his flat belly and then gripped the root of his man flesh as he husband worked on its tip. Oliver saw Toby's lips moved down the length of his cock until they met Rose's hand and his knees buckled. If Toby didn't stop soon he was going to blow.

    'I'm really close.' Oliver whispered urgently.

    Toby just increased the pressure of his sucking and second later Oliver blew off a heavy load of warm ball juice into Toby's mouth. Toby came off Oliver's cock licking his lips.

    Rose moved over to kiss Toby. Oliver watched as Toby's hands dipped into her panties and she tugged at his clothes. They were both soon naked and Toby picked Rose up and lowered her onto his fat cock. The sight of that thick, reddish brown weapon disappearing into that slick pink pussy got Oliver hard again. He went and stood behind Rose and supported her weight so that Toby could fuck. Toby's low hanging balls bounced up and down on Oliver's cock head as he fucked. Rose leaned back into Oliver for a kiss. Kissing Rose was every bit as exciting as kissing her husband had been. Seeing the two of them being intimate like that got to Toby and he soon spunked off inside Rose's quim.

    Rose lay down on the carpet and Oliver got down between her legs. Her pussy was one of the most beautiful he had ever seen: lovely full lips and delicate pink of colour with a pronounced clit. He buried his face in her golden curls and started giving her a tongue bath. She sighed as he worked his magic. As he moved down she opened her legs wider and he started really tongue fucking her. His heart was thumping in his chest, he was so turned on. And then suddenly he felt his butt cheeks being parted and a hot tongue diving in between. It was as if the world had stopped turning! Oliver squirmed his butt about Toby's face, trying to get as much tongue as possible. And at about the same time he started tasting something he had never tasted before. And from his first taste he knew he loved it.

    As Oliver lapped at Rose's cunt Toby's spent fuck sauce started to coat his tongue. Oliver's hard cock just about exploded on the carpet. At that moment in time he was the happiest man in the world. He was eating delicious pussy that had an extra treat for dessert and he was being rimmed for the first time. When Oliver felt Toby's finger slide into him he knew he had to have more than that. He wanted to go all the way, try everything.

    Oliver flipped himself over on his back and begged Toby to fuck him. He pulled Rose down onto his face and carried on eating her. Her hands teased her large nipples as she experienced one orgasm after another. Toby skilfully applied lubricant to Oliver's virgin ass. He worked his finger in and out for a good ten minutes until he felt Oliver was ready. And then he started feeding him that hard, thick dick.

    Oliver let out a groan as his cherry was popped. He wanted to piss, he wanted it to stop, he wanted it to go on, all at the same time. Rose hopped off his face and started to kiss him. His groans were muffled by her sweet kiss. His asshole started to adjust to Toby's girth. His cock, which had deflated on first penetration, now started to get hard again. Toby took hold of it and started playing with it. The pain in Oliver's ass started to ease. After five minutes he started feeling really good and he opened his big thighs wider to allow Toby better access.

    As Rose kissed him she worried his nipples. Oliver's asshole had taken on a life of its own and was madly in love with Toby's cock. His cock danced about in Toby's hand, threatening to blow at any minute. Oliver kept fighting off his orgasm, which only heightened the feelings in his cock and ass. And then Toby's increased the pace of his stroking, really fucking Oliver's hole now. He also increased his wrist action on Oliver's cock. Oliver felt breathless, dazed and disoriented. He knew something had to give.

    Fortunately it was Toby. He let out an extremely loud roar as he shot his scalding man juice into Oliver's virgin ass. Seconds later Oliver's cock erupted, sending his hot jizz spraying through Toby's fingers and all over Rose's back. It took them many moments to come down from such an intense fuck high.

    Oliver never made it home that night. When he woke the next morning with Toby on one side of him, and Rose on the other, he knew that he would get bi without his wife.

    I meant the only disadvantage [compared] to CD/DVD's in response to the first complaint, not that CD's were at all vulnerable to magnetics as HD's are.

    The "true history" would mean that you get a real snapshot of what was on the drive at that time, each day's image kept on record. With source control, for instance, older versions may even be removed or altered. Having distant history kept on CD would also prevent damage from having files deleted long ago that weren't discovered until much later, and were outside source control. The problem with a rotation of HD's would be that you lose this long-term history.

      You left out that the -R format can't read the position of the heads, but +R can. +RW disks can be used for random access file systems (not the fastest, but it works).

    1. Burning home video to DVD - this one's pretty obvious, given the Apple commercials earlier and the increasing market penetration of DVD players.
    2. Backing up large amounts of data for archival purposes - This is a pretty common use -- archiving tons of Quark/Photoshop/etc documents that take up tons of space but don't need to be instantly retrieved.
    3. Backing up MP3s - Since I have a large collection, this is the easiest way to prevent the nightmare scenario of having to re-rip a couple hundred CDs.

    If I were in your situation, I'd go for a large drive -- 120GB drives are around $200, last I checked, which is a steal. Plus it's faster and generally less hassle. DVD blanks are at a minimum $5, but usually more expensive (RWs definitely are, I think Rs are around $5)

    Alternatively, if you're looking for portable but large-volume storage, I'd definitely consider a firewire drive. (and depending on your needs, this is an excellent opportunity to justify the iPod purchase... ;) )

    Recordable DVDs seem to be most convenient as a large-scale archiving medium; smaller stuff can go by the 'net or CD-R.

  75. Near-line vs. backups vs. archival... by trims · · Score: 5, Informative

    There are really three seperate categories you get into once you're considering moving data from primary storage. You seem to be asking about the first, but I'll cover all three for completeness.

    Near-line (a.k.a secondary storage)

    Primary storage almost always consists of the fastest hard drives directly attached to your data source (file server, SAN, workstation, whatever). Historically, near-line has been some medium where the end-user could access the data required in the same manner as primary storage, but at a slower rate. The old solution used to be either a different server using older/slower disks, or an RW optical jukebox. Near-line storage almost always is very high read-usage, but the occasional write isn't unlikely, so you generally want a media that can support writes.

    Backups (a.k.a. save-your-ass storage)

    Backups are a place to temporarily save data in case of an emergency. The criteria generally don't include re-writability, but do concern with ease-of-access in the case of a recovery. In addition, Backups expire - after a certain period of time, the data is no longer available. Tape has been the choice for this for a long time, with it's high storage capacity and low cost. Higher-end solutions have been the "on-line snapshot" capabilities of SAN and NAS devices (essentially to make a static mirror of data on extra storage space). CD-R and even floppies have been popular for the low-end. Whatever the choice is, the main concern is reliability, and the ability to backup the data within a set time window.

    Archival (a.k.a save it for the history books)

    This is a big one, and one frequently misunderstood. The two major criteria for Archival purposes are Survivability, and Retrievability. That is, the solution has to make sure it does NOT degrade with time (i.e. it doesn't introduce errors after sitting on the shelf for 20 years) and that you will realistically have a method to retrieve the data over it's lifetime (e.g. are they still going to have devices that can read your data media in 30 years?) Magnetic tape is a BAD THING for Archival purposes, despite its common usage. It fails on both tests. Mastered CDs (NOT CD-R) and Optical Disks are generally the preferred method here.

    In the modern world, I would recommend a backup server using RAIDed IDE drives for Near-line these days. The relative cheapness of IDE drives, combined with the newer IDE RAID cards provides an unbeatable cost/storage/reliability ratio (far superior to CD, DVD, Tape, or Optical Disk), and it's by far the easiest to maintain and use, since it's simply another fileserver. Don't scrimp, however. A good one of these should probably run $3-$4k with 8-10 100GB drives, redundant power supply, and hardware RAID.

    Backups are a bit more complex, and the variables make a one-size-fits-all recommendation unrealistic. And you didn't ask for that anyway, so I'm not going to make one. :-)

    Archival really means you want to keep (or are required to keep) the data around, but don't need access to it much. If you don't intend to keep the data for more than 15-20 years, you can probably get away with CD-R. Otherwise, look into having your data pressed onto CD (i.e. real mastered CDs). They last a good 100 years or so, and it's relatively cheap. In either case, you want multiple copies of each disc, and the good-old CD-jukebox is your friend.

    As you imply (and other posters have noted), DVD-R/RAM/RW/+RW isn't quite stabilized yet. Despite their larger capacity, I wouldn't change the above recommendations, other than replacing CDs with DVD when it settles down - DVD mastering isn't anywhere as cheap as CD mastering is (and if you do master DVDs, make sure that you specify UNENCRYPTED DVD so you don't get CSS put on accidentally).

    As a side note: there's a whole industry built around Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) which deals with automatically moving data between the various storage levels, and recovering it as need be. It's a bit beyond what you describe you're looking for, but look at one of the big UNIX storage players' (Sun, HP, IBM, EMC) site for a whitepaper on it. They're a good read for concepts which you can apply, even if you're not using their multi-million-dollar hardware/software packages.

    Best of luck.

DVD single drives are too small to be of any real use and the robots and their software are very expensive to buy and maintain.

    Hard drives on the other hand are very cost effective:

    Under 1TB $1000-$1500

    For low to medium sized storage you can buy a 3ware or Promise RAID5 controller and put some drives into a computer with a server case that can hold them. A 4 drive RAID5 array with 160GB drives is 480GB usable and will fit in almost any machine. A 6 drive RAID 5 array is 800 GB usable but you need to work a little harder to find a case which will let you hook them all up.
    1-10 TB $4,500-$45,000
    If you need something a little more scalable you can use Promise UltraTrak SX8000 or RM8000s. They are OS independent and extraordinarily easy to setup. Each one has the ability to store over 1.1 TB when full of 160GB drives and you can hook many of them up to the same machine easily. The connect to a server with LVD-SE SCSI and appear to the machine as a single drive. Using these you can easily store 1-10 TB of data and keep it all online all the time.
    10+ TB $45,000+
    If you want to go over 10 TB the UltraTraks can do it but you should really use multiple head units. You can put 12 RM80000's in a 42 U rack with room for a 2U head unit and a 3U UPS (with 1U left over). This would make for about 14 TB per rack. Then you just install multiple identical racks to scale the storage.
    Since you are looking at optical you are probably looking for a system in the 1 TB range. For this I would recommend a single UltraTrak. The purchase price will be a fraction of what a optical library would cost, the reliability will be better, and the maintenance will be cheaper. Maintenance of these things is very simple: when a drive fails the alarm goes off. Buy a new drive and put it in. That's it!

    Optical may not look that bad when you look at the purchase price and the idea of a robot is cool but you also have to look at the cost of maintaining a machine like that in terms of time and money. When you add it all up, hard drives win every time.

If you ignore that and press PLAY, it starts playing but skips large portions of the movie, freezes occasionally, and the sound stutters.

  122. No proponents for tape systems instead? by ziegast · · Score: 3, Informative

    As other replies have stated, DVD isn't a mature technology yet. If you're into bleeding edge technology, feel free to experiment.

    Tape is still the cheapest media and most widely used and will continue to get more dense and less expensive over the next 4-5 years. You can currently buy LTO1 and AIT3 tapes for less than $100 per 100GB tape in large quantities. Sony has a 500GB half-inch format (S-AIT) coming out within a year. The jukeboxes and libraries are still expensive compared to CD changers, but if you have alot of data to backup, their up-front cost is not as significant. If you have lots of small data sets (600MB) to archive, it might make sense to use something random-access like CDs or near-line disk. If you have large databases or filesystems to archive, it's alot easier to manage one 100GB tape rather than 153 CDs or 20 DVDs for the same data. How are you going to manage and inventory all of those CDs? If you need to store more than 1TB, consider disk or tape solutions instead.

    ATA disk-based technology might seem inexpensive at first. I've seen FCAL/SCSI solutions lower that $20/GB. I've seen commercial ATA RAID5 subsystems as low as $10/GB. One can build-it-yourself using off-the-shelf cheap parts ($3/GB white box system?), but would you trust your data on the cheapest disk technology? What happens when a disk dies or when the filesystem becomes corrupted? Consider, also, how you might scale a disk-based solution beyond 1TB (if that's what you need to do). Think about power, cooling, managing failed drives, etc. Also, do you really need to keep disk drives actively spinning for data you might not access again for at least 6 months?

    In short, if you have less than 2TB of data to backup and small data sets, CD is inexpensive, but building an ATA-based archive system could work better, especially for managing the data. If you need to archive more than 10TB, tape is still the best proven way to go. In between, it may be possible to mix and match technologies to be cost-effective and still provide good performance. For example, you might keep 3-6 months of data on disk and archive the rest to a tape library.

  123. That's a bit skewed... by rakslice · · Score: 3, Insightful

    $500 US for 8 drives worth of IDE controller capacity? That seems pretty high; a pair of Promise UDMA133 controllers (2 ch = 4 drive ea.) would set me back 150$ US total at the local corporate-office mart. And consider also that motherboards typically have 4-6 drives of capacity to start with, which should take care of other IDE peripherals and then some; you may not need more than one additional controller.

    Keep in mind that you need a computer system to connect the storage to either way; but interfacing would be really affordable with the model of jukebox you suggest, since it uses firewire (IEEE-1394). (I had sort of assumed that any high capacity changers would use FC or SCSI, requiring a significant chunk of cash for the interface, but apparently they don't.)

    Also, any decent full tower case should be able to handle 8 3+1/2" standard height drives. (The fact that the majority of the world banishes themselves to bad mid or mini tower cases doesn't mean that everyone has to). My cheap-assed A/Open ATX full tower has 5 internal 3+1/2" bays (3 front, 2 rear), so I'd have to convert 3 of the 5+1/4" bays to hold the remaining hds, but there would still be 2 5+1/4"s and a 3+1/2" external left. Yes, this is quite a stretch, because my case isn't suited for the crapload of cooling you would need for all of those drives. Also the power supply would need to be fairly high capacity, as it might be difficult to stagger the drive spinups to avoid power problems without using SCSI. But it still shouldn't require especially rare/expensive casing, PS, or ATA controllerage.

    I don't see why you're bringing RAID (especially hardware RAID -- very expensive and unnecessary when high throughput isn't crucial) into the equation. The jukebox wouldn't do mirrored reading in the RAID sense, because it only reads one disc at a time. And, although especially capabale bundled media jukebox software may prove me wrong, I doubt that it could automatically switch to an online backup disc when encountering a read error. So you would probably just keep the mirror set offline on the shelf to reclaim the jukebox capacity. The equivalent HD solution would have backup tapes on the shelf too. (the Jukebox may have less repair downtime, more than software RAID's none, but more cost competitive also.)

    I put a Windows NT 3.51 CD into my laptop recently, and it read fine. That's 8 years old, at least. Also I occasionally use an 8 year old OS/2 disc. My entire music CD collection is fine, even the stuff I bought 7-8 years ago, showing no sign whatsoever of deterioration.

    When people come up with these rules of thumb, I have to be honest and wonder what they're doing that I'm not. I recall reading several people saying that DVDs cannot stand being played more than 8 or 9 times. Tell that to my Criterion "Brazil" DVD which has been played more often than that, and spent time in my laptop and other such horrors. And I'm not even that careful with my discs - I'll try to hold them by the edges and I'll keep them, most of the time, in the cases (occasionally I'll just leave them in the player for a few days while I don't use the player) but, frankly, that's it. I'm not anally retentive about it, certainly not as much as most people I know. Oh yeah, and for the last four years I've lived in Florida, and before that in Britain, so these CDs have undergone some horrendous temperature/humidity abuses.

    Scarily, even most floppies I have from ten years ago or so seem to have kept most of their data - and while you might be tempted to go "Aha! Most! Not all!", I'd point out that floppies have always been crap at storing all of their data, time doesn't seem to be a factor with them. They're either crap or... (and remember that magnetic storage is hardly new, and most sound media that's more than 15 years old has been stored on magnetic tracks. That means that 30 year old movie you have on DVD with the awesome sound actually has audio that was on tape for 25-29 years before it was transfered to a digital format.)

    So where do these "facts" about how fragile the things are come from? The only thing I can think of is that CDs and DVDs aren't always perfect to begin with, and this gives them a reputation which leads people to automatically assume that they're going to get worse with age. In reference to the aforementioned Brazil DVD, it's actually "improved" with age (most likely there was a speck of dirt somewhere that's fallen off) in that there was a part of the disc that used to stutter and now it no longer does.

    Keep your DVDs and CDs in a case when you're not using them, don't hold them by the flat sides, and don't scrub the surface with the label and they should last. Probably much more than ten years too. Honest.

    Progressive is not "twice as good" as interlaced. Keep in mind you're still drawing from interlaced source material -
    Progressive is much better for material originally sourced from film. I'm not going to go out on a limb and claim it's twice as good, but it's definitely good.

    Why? Because film is progressive, not interlaced. When they convert the film to NTSC video (using equipment/process called telecine), they have to convert it to interlaced format, using a process called 3:2 pulldown. This splits each frame into two interlaced fields, which raises the effective rate from 24 Hz to 48 Hz. Then they duplicate some of the fields, to get from 48 Hz to the video rate of 60 Hz. Actually the NTSC rate is 59.94 Hz, but usually they ignore that detail, and the running time of the resulting video is off by 0.1%.

    This results in a big difference compared to the output of video cameras. With a video camera, the two interlaced fields that make up a frame are not captured simultaneously. Instead, the camera captures a separate field every 1/60 of a second. Thus if the camera or the scene is moving, you will not be able to merge two consecutive fields into a single coherent frame. When the video is played back at normal speed, this is not a problem; in fact, it makes the video "smoother". However, if you try to display a still frame, you will see the image oscillate between the two time-independent fields at 30 Hz, which is incredibly annoying.

    With telecine output, however, consecutive fields come from the same film frame. And the MPEG-2 video stream takes advantage of this by avoiding encoding the duplicate fields that were inserted by the 3:2 pulldown. So the DVD actually contains 48 fields per second, with flags that tell the player which fields to duplicate for the pulldown. A progressive-scan DVD player simply uses those flags to reconstruct the original non-interlaced frames.

    For DVDs from a video source, a progressive player does have to do some "magic" in order to get reasonable deinterlaced output. This is not an exact science; different players use various techniques to do this, so the resulting quality can vary quite a bit.

    Note that for PAL and SECAM video, the field rate is 50 Hz, so 3:2 pulldown is not used. But it is still possible for the DVD player to do perfect deinterlace of DVDs mastered from film.

    Besides, have you seen the price of modern progressive DVD players?

    Now, a 160GB hard drive will cost you $223 shipped. hmmm... I was gonna work out the math based on the density of the DVD media, the cost of the individual drives, and the burner, then compare it to the cost of the hard drive.

    I work for a large national weather research center(US). We wanted to replace some 8mm tape based data archiving with optical technology. Since our systems are at unmanned, remote field sites the capacity of DVD's made it worth the higher cost of the drives and media. We are currently running Linux on the remote systems, which are 3-4 years old.

    One of the main reasons we chose the +RW drives over the -RW drives, is the fact that the data can be written to the drives on loaded, slow systems, or across a network. A disk image does not need to be created, the data is written directly to the device from a modified mkisofs. The -R/RW drives require the system to burn the DVD in real-time, typically from an ISO image stored on disk. Buffer under-runs are a disticnt possibility if the system isn't up to the task of feeding the higher data rate of DVD drives. Another big plus over -R/RW media was the +R/RW's ability to incrementally add data to the media. I've not tested this. Reports indicate that Linux works transparently with the resultant multi-session file system, but other OS's are not, and only see data in the first session.
